Palin’s coming! Quick, hide the bendy straws.

What gets Sarah Palin out of her Alaska home to come speak at your event?

A luxury hotel, pre-screened audience questions, plenty of bottled water and bendable straws. According to the Los Angeles Times, those were a few of the items covered in a contract found last week in a trash bin by students at Cal State Stanislaus, where Palin was scheduled to speak.

The Cal State Stanislaus Foundation — the university’s fundraising arm — had invited Palin to speak, but refused to provide details about the event, including her speaking fee, at the request of state Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco), the Times reported.

Then last week, part of Palin’s contract and some other shredded documents turned up in a trash bin outside the administration building. Apparently, the documents did not reveal her fee, and the foundation has yet to explain why they were in the trash.

The Times reported Tuesday that California Attorney General Jerry Brown was looking into the foundation’s finances and actions, and whether it illegally discarded documents related to the event.

Yee is pushing for more transparency from nonprofit foundations attached to public universities and colleges and has proposed legislation to force them to comply with California’s Public Records Act. The foundation has argued that the law does not apply to them because they are private, and that no taxpayer dollars were used to support the Palin event.
